Avon Valley

A tranquil sunrise over the Avon Valley

The picturesque Avon Valley supports less wildlife than it did in the past, largely because of changes in the way farmland and woodland is managed. The Avon Valley project aims to restore and re-connect precious wildlife habitat.

The Avon Valley Project works with landowners to restore wildflower-rich grasslands, improve woodlands for wildlife and monitor water quality in the river Avon.

Three DWT natures reserves are situated in the Avon Valley – Lady’s Wood, Andrew’s Wood and South Efford Marsh.

But the loss of good wildlife habitat means it is more difficult for species to move around the landscape.
